consistent year round supply in uk that you don’t have here. You’d find it hard to get calves from mid may to September/October in Ireland

Some factories are leaning towards less moves of cattle over there life time. We also have the 4 moves with QA. This would lead to a weaned calf have half its moves used up by 12-16 weeks.

I read somewhere that these rearers in the UK have to keep calves to approx 6 months

No just a idea to buy them off farms rear them to the weaned stage and sell on then , See a lot of uk lads at it .

Ya and once the bulk of calfs are done very hard got then , Its just basically land is hard got to drive on a bit was thinking of some way of using the sheds 10months of the year
